Kirk Herbstreit accuses Tennessee of faking injuries during Georgia game

postandcourier.com

Kirk Herbstreit, an ESPN college football analyst, accused the Tennessee football program of faking injuries during the Georgia vs. Tennessee game on Saturday night. He expressed suspicion after Tennessee defensive lineman Omarr Norman-Lott went down shortly after a big play by Georgia. Herbstreit noted that Norman-Lott appeared fine before collapsing, raising doubts about the legitimacy of the injury. This incident occurred as Georgia's offense was gaining momentum in the game, which Georgia won 31-17. Faking injuries has become a concern in college football, especially as teams adopt faster-paced offenses. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey previously warned teams about this issue, emphasizing the need for fair play.
